Guests say
Chere Amie offers a unique and memorable glamping experience, especially for families with children who delight in the quirky boat accommodation and woodland setting. Guests consistently praise the peaceful atmosphere, friendly and welcoming hosts, and the heated outdoor pool. The property is well located for exploring local attractions and beaches. While most reviews are highly positive, a few mention the need for some maintenance and caution with younger children due to the raised boat. Overall, the property stands out for its charm, thoughtful touches, and opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
Most guests found the property well-presented and pleasant, though one review noted a musty smell and suggested the boat could benefit from airing and a fresh coat of paint. No major cleanliness issues were reported.
The location is frequently praised as peaceful, safe, and a great base for visiting local attractions and beaches. Guests appreciated the woodland setting and proximity to villages and shops.

Garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Barbecue. Heated swimming pool (shared with owner). Parking. No smoking. Please note: Please be aware the jetty is 5 feet off the ground.. Chère Amie is a 1973 Westerly Pageant 23’ sailing yacht, previously moored at Wells for 14 years and the owners’ family had many sailing adventures up and down the North Norfolk coast on it during that time. It’s now come home to Rosslyn and has been transformed into a cracking place to stay for romantic breaks and family weekends. There is a shared outdoor pool on-site so pack your swimming costumes and really enjoy yourselves. This accommodation consists of two parts. A dayroom on the jetty with a sitting area, a large picture window looking out into the woods and a cosy wood-burning stove for evenings in. There are four tub chairs and a coffee table.
Then there’s the quintessential boat! Chère Amie, moored up to the jetty. It’s an open plan set up with a cooking area and sleeping area. It is heated and cooled by an air source heat pump. There is a shower block with individual wet rooms including a family-sized wet room with baby changing facilities. There is plenty to do on this site, which was once owned by the headmaster of the local school and had original shepherd’s huts on site. The natural woodland setting allows for ample opportunities to see bats, owls, deer and foxes. We are happy to accept dogs on Chere Amie provided that guests are aware that the dogs need to be agile or of a size to be lifted as the boat is compact.
With world-renowned award-winning beaches such as Holkham and Sheringham nearby, and the harbour at Wells-next-the-sea, there are many exciting opportunities for days out in the local area. The Broads National Park is an area of Norfolk which offers some really different experiences during your stay.

Very nice very peaceful, can’t comment on the other cabins but the boat is need of some TLC. Bright upholstery curtains and bedding, lick of paint aired to get rid of musty smell. Little lounge lovely, only needs 2 chairs a drop leaf table and couple of stools perhaps a shelf. Description needs to say how small it is if family of four using it be aware if young children as quite tricky.

We had a wonderful short break at Chere Amie; warm welcome, kind hosts, space and freedom for the kids to explore and watch local wildlife. Well-equipped quirky accommodation, with the use of the pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Thank you kindly :)

One of those holidays that will stay with us forever; staying onboard Chere Amie was absolutely wonderful. Our children (11 & 14) were thrilled to be staying somewhere so quirky and were so excited so sleep on the boat. They also loved exploring the forest and going in search of deer.One of the days was very hot and the shady forest was perfect, especially with the swimming pool to cool off in. Another of the days was much cooler and so we had the chance to use the log fire in the cosy reading room.The owners have gone above and beyond to make this accommodation welcoming from the onset with fresh milk ready in the fridge, flowers, logs ready for the fire and gift bags for the dogs. There are 2 BBQs, a microwave as well as a hot plate at the accommodation- so very easy to mix up easy quick dinners with exciting more camp-like meals of sending the children into the forest to gather wood for cooking on. The location is great for a variety of beaches a 20ish minute drive away and some lovely villages. The village shops near the glamping site were well stocked with everything we needed.It really is a magical place to stay!
